The "traitorous person" Prince Yu mentioned, although he didn’t reveal the name, everyone knew he was referring to the Princess.

Could it be that the Princely Heir Hao was truly wronged and died unjustly?

If this is truly the case, the Princess is indeed vicious to the extreme!

"Ha, Prince Yu’s ability to reverse right and wrong truly leaves me trailing far behind," Chu Qianli sneered.

Prince Yu didn’t joke with her; he angrily said, "Chu Qianli, you accuse me of being the orchestrator behind the Moat’s collapse, then produce evidence!"

"If you can’t produce it or are simply slandering, not only I, but everyone present, and even every citizen of Nanming, will never spare you!"

As these words fell, the crowd immediately became agitated again, and even the ministers all stood up.

People took steps forward, and some wanted to break through the guards’ restriction to save the Prince!

At this moment, Prince Yu’s prestige reached an unprecedented high.

"Release Prince Yu! Release Prince Yu!"

The call sounded again, gradually merging into a powerful torrent: "Release Prince Yu! Release the innocent!"

"The Princess slanders loyal officials; we don’t want such a Princess!"

"That’s right, we don’t want a cruel-hearted Princess!"

The calls grew louder and more people attempted to break through the Guard Squad.

The guards dared not harm the people and were forced to retreat step by step.

It seemed that the people were about to break in.

Once they rush in and rescue Prince Yu, Chu Qianli’s attempt to capture him would become impossible.

Moreover, with the people so agitated, should there be spies hidden among them inciting further, no one could guarantee whether someone might rush forward to harm Chu Qianli.

It’s important to know, public sentiment is easily stirred.

Sitting not far behind Chu Qianli, in the carriage, Feng Yexuan’s gaze darkened, his palm gradually clenched tighter.

These citizens being provoked by Prince Yu’s few words seemed about to become unstoppable.

"You want evidence? I will give you evidence now!" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Chu Qianli waved her hand, speaking in a deep voice: "Bring forth the witness!"

Witness?

The people once again were intimidated by the Princess’s Inner Strength infused words, turning their heads to watch those approaching the square from the side path.

The leader was Yang Xun.

The head of the Imperial Guards, leading a team, among the crowd, there was also a carriage.

On the carriage, there seemed to be someone, but because of the distance, no one could see clearly.

The carriage stopped at the square, and after Yang Xun greeted Chu Qianli, he lifted the carriage curtain.

Prince Yu also stared at that carriage.

Upon seeing the person descending from the carriage, Prince Yu furrowed his brows, eyes filled with unfamiliarity.

Everyone else also looked puzzled, not knowing who it was.

The person who alighted wore a loose-fitting black robe, and his face seemed to have been poisoned by something, destroying most of it, leaving it charred black.

Additionally, he walked with a limp, his leg clearly unwell.

With Yang Xun’s support, he slowly walked to the square’s center and bowed to Chu Qianli, saying: "Greetings...Princess."

His voice, although somewhat hoarse, still allowed people to identify his original form.

Prince Yu’s face suddenly sank!

Instantly, it changed color!

How could it be?

How could it be him?

Just moments ago, Prince Yu was still arrogant and spirited; now, hearing the voice of the man in the black robe and then clearly seeing his appearance, his entire demeanor became utterly dejected!

Why... is he still alive?
